Can you verified that either the contactgroup displayed, or the contact itself is attached to a host/service that went into a state change that it will notify on?

Im a bit a newbie but where can i check that?

[ruffsense]

do you mean the nagios.cfg?

cgi_file?

[gshergill]

Hi ruffsense,

He means in one of your .cfg files (services.cfg, hosts.cfg, templates.cfg, or wherever you have defined it), can you verify that the contact/contact_group given is attached to the host which went down, i.e. the host you wanted to see the notification for.

Was your notification mails working before?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

Correct.

ruffsense, can you post the .cfg for the host/service you expect to get mail for.

Thanks.

They are good. The problem seems that the /var/mail/nagios is empty

In the core interface, are there any recent notifications listed in the "notifications" page?

Nope is there away i can test the mail in nagios by creating a fake warning are problem?

You can visit the service details page of one of your services and use the "Send custom service notification" button to send a test notification, this will be sent to contacts assigned to the configuration file.
